WELCOME TO PRIDESTAFF HOUSTON (SOUTHWEST).

I have spent my entire life in Houston and am very proud of the city I call home. I began my career at PrideStaff in 2008, after spending 23 years in Corporate America. My professional background includes sales and marketing, public relations, as well as extensive community involvement. My objective is to utilize my experience and established relationships with major companies. I spend time volunteering in my community and serve on several boards. I am a board member of the North Houston Frontier Club and St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, as well as a member of the Greater Houston Convention and Visitor Bureau.

Houston Minority Supplier Development Council crowned PrideStaff as a 2009 Emerging 10 Winner. Houston Citizens Chamber of Commerce presented PrideStaff as a Finalist for the Mack Hannah Upstart Award in 2009. I have also been awarded the prestigious PrideStaff President’s Circle Award for top sales and my office won the Office of the Year for PrideStaff in 2008!

Buy team lunch – sit down at the round table and eat together and enjoy conversing with one another.

A nice round of golf with friends is always a stress reliever. I also enjoy spending time with my wife and my son playing baseball or basketball.
